As an alternative, check out World of Tanks. Yep, you read that right. I promised a couple friends I would check it out vs. War Thunder so I have been playing a bit over the last week or so. It is not bad, nowhere near what I thought. So I started to explore more and found they have a whole back end for community warfare.

Blackhawk has played a bit with me as well, maybe he will give some feedback on the gameplay.
